This volume of the " Twentieth
Century" seems hardly complete with
a description of the marvellous
little machine thet has made such an
enterprise possible. While it is quite
true that great strides have been made
in the art -of reproducing photographs
in half tones imitable for the prtnter's
use, yet the greatest and most valu-
able invention for the use of printers
in the later years has been the um-
thauical composing machine, without
which the great newspapers., books
and special editions Would hardly 1)0
possible except at great initial cost
to the publisher and consequently to
the consumer.
The machine, which is the subject af
this article, is the Mouoliae Compos-
ing Machine, manufactured in Mont-.
real, Canada, by the Canadian Com-
posing Co., Ltd., aud hae. bon Used
in setting all the reading matter in
the " Twentieth entury ntnnber,
having been installed in the office of
the " Daily Telegraph" soine fourteen
months ago. These machines have
been operating steadily since that
time and have fully demonstrated
their usefulness as a commercial props
()salon to the maker and to our of-
fice, having effected a saving in the
composition of the " Daily Telegraph"
.alone- of over seventy per cent. .

Development takes place rapidly iit
this fast age. Word now come iront
the English purchasers that Canadian
poultry is too big and too fat. What
is wanted • are smaller and younger
birds carrying as much esh, not
fat, as possible. It will be interest-
ing to find out what has led up to
such a state of affairs. Have we got
certain breeds too large ? The diM-
.culty caul(' quickly be got over but
in connection with it the statement is
made that at three months of age
Plymouth Rocks and Wyttadottes have
too much breast bone with too little
flesh ; •that Rork legs have still less
_ flesh and that the buff Orpington is
also.inclined to both drawbacks. Can
It be that the chicken to suit the ex-
acting English market is yet to be
produced, Or will it be necessary to
fall back upon pullets to fill • the re-
quirement of plump and meaty breast
Willi correspondingly satisfactory
thigh and leg flesh ? Or will the
Dorkings come . to the fore again ?
There is no neceasity in the mean-
' while for panie on the pail of Ply-
mouth Rock, Wyandotte or • Orphing-
ion holders because it will have to be
a,.• very . superior bird that will out-
class the breeds •itiened as winter lay-

Green clover turned under is spee-
ially
valuable to the land because
while growing it absorbs large quan-
tities of nitrogen from the air and, i
which is stored up in its tissues. A j
',navy mat of growth is produced by
the autumn ..which, when ploughed an -
dr, adds considerably to the avail-
able nitrogen of the soil as well as to
tbe store of humus. The proportion
of nitrogen thus added to the lathi is
equal to that obtained from a dress-
ing of ten tons of barnyard manure to
the . acre. Considerable supplies of
potash, phosphoric acid end lime are
- also taken up by the clover plant dur-
ing its growth, a pert of which is
gathered from depths in the soil not
reached by some other farm crops.
Tests- year after year with wheat,
oats, barley and potatoes con•firm the

The statement fef Dr. John Feastsson,

that "if 'consumptive patieute were ez'o-
perly isolated and treated, within ten
years from now tuburcellosis e Quid be
one of the rarest of loiewn diseases,"
ought to prove nil encouregine stimulus
to the friietde of the new FiveConstolp-
live Hospital to harry along subserip- semi

siriug that the same beuefits that have
coin° to patients of the Muskoka, Cottage
Sanatorium, by virtue of its exeellent
situation, should go to the poorer patients,
whose only hope is in eilinittan,e0 to the

All that is wanting may is the furnish-
ing of this Hospital with beds and other
